@@ -7,6 +7,10 @@ This project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/).
 ### Added
 - Add IP_RECVIF & IP_RECVDSTADDR. Enable IP_PKTINFO and IP6_PKTINFO on netbsd/openbsd.
   ([#1002](https://github.com/nix-rust/nix/pull/1002))
+
+- Added `inotify_init1`, `inotify_add_watch` and `inotify_rm_watch` wrappers for
+  Android and Linux. ([#1016](https://github.com/nix-rust/nix/pull/1016))
+
 ### Changed
 - `PollFd` event flags renamed to `PollFlags` ([#1024](https://github.com/nix-rust/nix/pull/1024/))
 - `recvmsg` now returns an Iterator over `ControlMessageOwned` objects rather

+//! Inotify is a Linux-only API to monitor filesystems events.

+//! For more documentation, please read [inotify(7)](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/inotify.7.html).
+//! 
+//! # Examples
+//!
+//! Monitor all events happening in directory "test":
+//! ```no_run
+//! # use nix::sys::inotify::{AddWatchFlags,InitFlags,Inotify};
+//! #
+//! // We create a new inotify instance.
+//! let instance = Inotify::init(InitFlags::empty()).unwrap();
+//!
+//! // We add a new watch on directory "test" for all events.
+//! let wd = instance.add_watch("test", AddWatchFlags::IN_ALL_EVENTS).unwrap();
+//!
+//! loop {
+//!     // We read from our inotify instance for events.
+//!     let events = instance.read_events().unwrap();
+//!     println!("Events: {:?}", events);
